Watching Feeding Waiting Ready to fly Chatting Starting President’s Report – Mickey Cohen Kiddos are back in school, football season is here and we still have some great flying weather in front of us. The field is in super condition, Doug has continued his dedication to maintain it for our enjoyment. The N / S runway has been seeded and fertilized thanx to Frank's back breaking work and support from some our hard working volunteers. All of the events of summer are over and it's a great time to get some great flying. We have the best field around, just ask any of the people that visited and flown here recently. The September meeting will be on the 23rd at EWEB. This will be the last meeting our club will have at EWEB. It's also time for serious business so you attendance at the meeting would be very appreciated. Even if you don't regularly attend the next couple of meetings are important. The club still needs a volunteer to step up to take care of field maintenance. Doing unfortunately is not kidding when his says this is the last year for his dedicated help. Nominations will be taken at the September and October meetings for the officer positions of President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Safety Officer. Voting will take place and results will be finalized at the November meeting. We have almost 90 members, please consider taking on one of these positions. See you at the meeting and the field. Fly safe and not alone. Fly safe and not alone. Mickey Treasurers Report - Al Barrington We are still at 84 members. We do have an application submitted from prospective new member Scott Bartley. We will be welcoming him at the September meeting. We are coming into the last quarter of the year which means time for elections of club officers at the November meeting.
